Public bug reported: usr/share/doc/ddclient/examples/sample-etc_ddclient.conf.gz shows the correct and working syntax like:
server=members.dyndns.org, \ protocol=dyndns2 \ your-dynamic-host.dyndns.org basically each entry one one line, comma-separated, host at the end. dpkg-reconfigure ddclient produces, however: server=members.dyndns.org protocol=dyndns2 your-dynamic-host.dyndns.org Same holds true during installation. This renders the configuration script useless und requires manual checking for IP updates. Wrong IP, however, can lead to security problems. This behaviour I can reproduce reliably at any time on all of my 10 ubuntu systems.
